Welcome to the musings of Angie Windheim (that's me!). A garden-obsessed writer, artist, and mid-century mama to three 20-somethings. The nest may be empty, but the mothering journey continues. Here you'll find my stories about sowing seeds for life's second half, staying curious, and growing old gratefully. Make sure you don't miss a post - subscribe here.
